This is a great show with one of the best premises ever. How could you be sure you were you when black out drunk.

The best mini series I have ever seen. No further words needed. What else can I say?

Everything is so authentic, so well presented and the actors are really good. The serie is really addictive. Special mentions to the coloristst that chosed to put like a filter on the show to not show vivide the colors and contribute to the dark and serious atmosphere of the serie. 10/10, to watch ! note: may contains some difficults pictures to see for delicate people.… Expand

Fantastic mini series.
Brilliantly written and directed. One of John Turturro finest roles of recent times and Riz Ahmed adding to an impressive yet underrated resume.

If you stab someone 22 times, and the walls are covered in blood, the bed is soaked with blood, and the room looks like "The Battle Of Gettysburg," to quote one cop, wouldn't the killer be covered in blood? Yes, he would. But apparently noIf you stab someone 22 times, and the walls are covered in blood, the bed is soaked with blood, and the room looks like "The Battle Of Gettysburg," to quote one cop, wouldn't the killer be covered in blood? Yes, he would. But apparently no one in this highly regarded series seems to know this. I knew this, and I waited for nearly nine hours for someone to bring it up. It never happened.

The murder took place in Manhattan, in a $10 million house. There's only one detective in Manhattan? The Manhattan DA doesn't have a blood spatter expert to tell her they have the wrong guy? She doesn't have a boss to tell her the kid had no blood on him, and that's a huge problem?

Here's what they could have done: arrest him, realize there's no blood on him, release him, and start looking for the real killer. Why didn't they? I think they wanted a show about how prison changes you, and the racial slurs Pakistanis in this country still have to deal with. The problem with this is, we have a million shows about prison life, and it didn't seem as if they were targeting him in prison because of his heritage; they were targeting him because they thought he raped a girl, which is kind of sad, since a lot of them were probably in there for sexual assault of some sort.

Props to John Turturro for doing his best to keep my interest in this overly long, well-shot, well-acted series that was undermined from the start by the shortsightedness of its writers. Incredibly disappointed, and why isn't anyone else talking about this?… Expand
